Talks With The Author

On October 24, 2013, the 142 nd anniversary of Louis Sockalexis’s birth in 1871, author Ed Rice donated all the newspaper and magazine clippings, photographs and artifacts from more than one-quarter of a century of research on the Sockalexis cousins, research used in his biographies of the great Penobscot Indian athletes. Since Louis died on Dec. 24, 1913, it was also exactly two months past the 100 th anniversary of his death. This was at the Maine State Library & Museum in Augusta.

This was done in a special talk and presentation ceremony.
